I also feel angry about your and others enjoyment of the film you paid into being so compromised. You should have had a right to demand some action on the part of hte management for that reason, if not for the welfare of hte children! <BR/><BR/>Send it to the man I wrote to - they're obviously listening, and aware there's a problem. I think it's only going to get worse, as kids are being exposed to more and more and getting more eager to be older than they are.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-39236921961991378892008-08-07T18:33:00.000-07:002008-08-07T18:33:00.000-07:00Hi Jo.I agree totally with you.

I had a similiar experience when i went to see the second Lord of the Rings movie. In the row in front of me a dad sat with his two children aged 3 and 5 i''d say. They were clearly very distressed....covering their eyes and ears and crying. The dad didn't seem to give a toss and basically ignored them. I went out and complained to the manager and he said he could do nothing as although he thought it inappropriate too it was up to the parent as the movie was rated 12a. I was very upset and wanted to give the 'parent' a piece of my mind but tbh he looked like the type you wouldn't want to offend and in my heavily pregnant state i just left. I was so upset. It must be traumatic for such a young child to see images like those. I'm getting angry now the more i think about it. I have a ten year old and i wouldn't let him watch Lord of the Rings yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-20673306048143437422008-08-07T16:28:00.000-07:002008-08-07T16:28:00.000-07:00Careful Twenty, you're revealing your stomping gro...Careful Twenty, you're revealing your stomping ground.

It tells them that this movie is suitable for small children as long as an adult is beside them. <BR/><BR/>In an ideal world, parents know their children's limits and make decisions about what they will enjoy. <BR/><BR/>The particular kids who were brought to this apparently handled it because they're used to watching age inappropriate violence. <BR/><BR/>That doesn't make it any better for me!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-1589006052164499802008-08-07T05:50:00.000-07:002008-08-07T05:50:00.000-07:00I was listening to a debate about this on the last...I was listening to a debate about this on the last word yesterday.<BR/><BR/>The way I see it, the movie is clearly marked as unsuitable for kids. The issue of parents being irresponsible is a seperate one. <BR/><BR/>I saw movies such as Aliens, Terminator, IT at a young age (under 10), one of them was at school! I actually have fond memories of being a bit scared and boasting to my friends about seeing them.<BR/><BR/>I'm not advocating bringing a kid to see this movie if it is going to scare them shitless but it is the parents choice.<BR/><BR/>Also, what a movie - went again the other night :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-17721069341917440342008-08-07T05:26:00.000-07:002008-08-07T05:26:00.000-07:0015 is over 15. 15 A (accompanied) means anyone und...15 is over 15. 15 A (accompanied) means anyone under fifteen can go if accompanied by an adult.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-68213741182472275072008-08-07T05:08:00.000-07:002008-08-07T05:08:00.000-07:00what does 15A mean?over 15 or under 15 with an adu...what does 15A mean?<BR/><BR/>over 15 or under 15 with an adult?morgorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114639530339030641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-38779185483850610712008-08-07T03:12:00.000-07:002008-08-07T03:12:00.000-07:00Well, I can't argue with your personal experience....Well, I can't argue with your personal experience. <BR/><BR/>But if you have to be a 'brave boy' to watch a film, you're too young for it. <BR/><BR/>And I don't believe children should be comfortable with watching scenes of torture, murder and madness. I don't see why that should be in their lives unless it's an unavoidable reality.<BR/><BR/>My daughter saw one horror film take-off moment on Scrubs by accident, nearly a year ago, and she's been sleeping with the light on ever since.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-33862160971052616832008-08-07T03:07:00.000-07:002008-08-07T03:07:00.000-07:00i'm obviously the exception but i disagree with yo...i'm obviously the exception but i disagree with you jo. i was watching horror films (exorcist, friday 13th, shining) when i was a little kid. i loved those films, i never had nightmares, so my parents never stopped me from watching it. it has not made me disfunctional in any way and in 30 years i have not yet gone on a killing spree :) maybe the kids who saw the film were that kind of kids. i do agree that the film is violent etc and not all kids or even adults are able for it, but if the kids can handle it, why not?Tatiana Franeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14013755626466864296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-84263907029824426382008-08-07T02:07:00.000-07:002008-08-07T02:07:00.000-07:00Odd, I though 15A meant you had to be 15 before yo...Odd, I though 15A meant you had to be 15 before you saw it, and then you had to be accompanied.

You have got to wonder what seeing violence like that does to a 5-year old brain. I know for a fact that my own kids have a hard time figuring out what's real and what's not in movies a lot tamer than that. They talk about wanting to go to New York to take food to Annie in the Orphanage. <BR/><BR/>Good for you, for bringing it to the attention of people in a position to do something about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-44041723954609554352008-08-07T01:14:00.000-07:002008-08-07T01:14:00.000-07:00Hi Tina - I wouldn't say that, I'm sure you're not...Hi Tina - I wouldn't say that, I'm sure you're not alone :) The thing is, it is good - I would have enjoyed it much more if my mind hadn't been on smallies watching it!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-89943653148358336702008-08-07T01:03:00.000-07:002008-08-07T01:03:00.000-07:00Well done you for taking action and emailing the I...Well done you for taking action and emailing the IFCO!<BR/><BR/>I must be the only person on earth who has absolutely no interest in seeing Batman :)tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406758031098784446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6367596429065516772.post-50625914031579151812008-08-07T00:47:00.000-07:002008-08-07T00:47:00.000-07:00MINOR SPOILER ALERTYeah, that was a startle, alrig...MINOR SPOILER ALERT<BR/><BR/>Yeah, that was a startle, alright!
